Why, bones? A bit dismissive! Perhaps you are not familiar with this type of puzzle, they a good to do:)

Always enjoy these - love the confluence of multiple deductions required to solve them.

I think his comment was in effect saying he thought there were multiple solutions. Bones, in a Sudoku XV puzzle if there is NO 'x' or 'v' between two squares then they do NOT sum to 5 or 10. With this rule, the puzzle has a unique solution.

In this case the sum of the two squares is not 5 or 10. Is it true, gareth?

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
